I am more than an alien alpha’s captive.
I am the personal possession of a saurian executioner.
Avel is massive, dominant, and more than capable of handling his human prisoner.
He has a complete mastery of the sky, the city - and me.

I have been out of control for years.
Operating well beyond the bounds of any law, I have roamed the universe striking fear into those I encounter.
But Avel is not afraid of me.

My attempts to escape are met with punishment.
My inevitable rebellion is not tolerated.
I am shown his true nature, and in doing so, I discover my own.
I am trained into obedience.
I am made softer, sweeter, and happier.

And when I am captured?
That is when my saurian master shows his full capacity for cold, cruel revenge.
You touch me? You will beg to die.

Captive is a dark alien romance. Mature readers only please.

3 - 3.5 smut-scale stars!

The second book in this series follows Avel the Executioner and Raine the Pirate. Stuck on the primal plant, Raine is now in Avel’s orbit and he’ll never let her go.

”This connection with this defiant, wet, hot little human who looks at me with fiery passion is something I have never experienced before. It feels like the entirety of my being, every part of my soul is being awoken. I feel a rush of tenderness and of lust at the same time. I want to possess her. I want to dominate her. I want to make her mine in every sense, so she knows that there will never, ever be another male for her.


Raine will fight tooth and nail to get away. Well until…of course…her body betrays her and she craves the discipline and ownership only Avel can give her.

“You’re going to take every bit of my seed, Raine. You’re going to be filled with me, and you’re never, ever going to take anybody else the way you take me.”


This was short with LOTS of Dom/sub steam. Spankings and punishments. Easy plot with a HEA. A fun read.

Dark Alien Romance Indeed

Wow! This book was dark and gritty and intense. I’m not a big fan of these types of alien romance, BDSM is just not my kink of choice, but the story was engrossing and sometimes hilarious. Raine was just as twisted as her Saurian mate with so much snark! I may or may not read the next book.

Reseña – Captive de Loki Renard

⭐☆☆☆☆

No me gustó nada este libro. Literal le di 1 estrella y porque no se puede poner cero. La historia se siente forzada, incómoda y nada atractiva. Sé que es romance oscuro, pero aquí no hay ni trama sólida, ni crecimiento emocional, ni química real. Solo control, manipulación y una relación completamente desequilibrada que intentan vender como deseo o conexión.

La protagonista parece existir únicamente para ser dominada y controlada, sin agencia ni profundidad, y el protagonista masculino… simplemente abusivo, no “intenso” ni “feral” ni nada de lo que intentan justificar. Nada de esto me pareció romántico, ni sexy, ni interesante. Solo me dio fastidio y ganas de cerrar el libro.

Entiendo que hay gente que disfruta este tipo de historias, pero para mí fue un NO enorme. No conecté, no lo disfruté, y honestamente salí con cara de “¿por qué me hice esto?”.

Definitivamente no lo recomiendo.

Fully enjoyable 😉

These are cute little stories. It's not real long, but it's definitely over the top. Lol. Lots of alphas n sexy times n some violence. For sure, it's different than what I am used to, but that's fine. A nice little change of pace. Very enjoyable characters. The series is fascinating and hard to put down. I think I'm going on the last book n can say I'm sorry to see the series end. Each book is interconnected, but each has its own plot, n it's fun getting to know the different people. Well written n definitely entertaining. HEAS

EXCELLENT Again 😁

This series certainly keeps you guessing on what will happen next 😄. Both Captain's have been taken captive by the top two Alphas on this planet and have fallen in Love with them 😍. Meanwhile, the pirate ship is falling apart cuz the Captain's aren't there 😉. Thanks again Loki, I'm enjoying this story immensely and can't wait to read the next 🤓.

decent

Loki Renard snark was in full force in this book,making it a humorous read,however I'm super confused about the friendship dynamics now,because in book one solid friendships were established,and now I have no idea of how relationships got derailed. Interesting new characters are introduced,and I look forward to reading the next book!

I loved Primal, but I loved Captive even more. It's darker and more intense. The characters are amazing, as always, and their chemistry is great so you get a lot of sexiness. I loved the amount of action and excitement, and the fast pace kept me glued to the pages. It's another quick, weekend read.

Deeper read

Book two has been a deeper read and absolutely entertaining. The main characters were perfectly suited, and the plot thickens. Although the story in complete in and of itself, I’m very much looking forward to the next book.

Good

I like how Sullivan and Raine have I resolved issues that aren't resolved by the end of this story. Yeah, Sullivan had a chip in her head and Raine can't accept authority over her. So, I'm glad that things are unresolved between them.

The enforcer, Avel has taken Raine as his mate with discipline and hot chemistry. Raine pushes his buttons, which is entertaining especially when he first takes her it his perch. These two are really endearing in this well written book.

DNF at 76%….it just got worse and worse and it didn’t start out great. Incredibly unlikable characters. I don’t have an issue with rough power play but I do have an issue with not listening.
The sexy scenes were fine but unsatisfying.

She should listen better, but then again this wouldn't be as captivating if she had ;P

Another quick read, but this one took a little longer, and it was still just as good as the first one.

K, going to start the 3rd, hopefully, more comes out in this series!!

I liked Breed and Primal a little bit more than this one (just a little!) but I think Avel is the nicest of the BDSM dinosaur aliens lol

captive

This was a fun book to read. So far I’ve really enjoyed this series. They are interesting standalone stories but you want to keep reading to find out what happens.

Laws and order? Who needs that....

Oh clearly Raine is in need of law, order and discipline. Avel knows exactly what he wants and needs to do. I loved this gritty and hot tale. I want so much more!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
More layered than the first, Captive explores the taming of a notorious outlaw by a cold, calculating executioner. Avel is a methodical, ruthless alpha who sees discipline as devotion, and his human captive slowly finds both fear and fulfillment under his control. There's a twisted beauty to their dynamic: intense punishment, rigid dominance, and—eventually—a warped kind of care. The heroine’s journey from chaos to claimed is compelling, though very dark. Fans of serious power exchange will find this one deeply satisfying.
